The bar chart illustrates the percentage of fuel derived from renewable energy sources that was used in the transport sector across six European Union countries in 2009 and 2010, along with EU average.
Overall, it is clear that the proportion of renewable fuel increased slightly in all countries over the two-year period. Among these nations, Slovakia recorded the highest figures, while Greece remained far behind the others. The EU average also experienced a modest growth between 2009 and 2010.
In 2009, Slovakia had the largest share of renewable fuel use at around 9%, followed by Austria with about 7%. France, Poland, and Spain showed similar percentages, each accounting for between 4% and 6%. Greece was the least environmentally friendly in this regard, with less than 1% of its transport fuel coming from renewable sources. The EU average stood at approximately 4%.
By 2010, most countries saw a small rise in their figures. Although Slovakia still led the ranking, its percentage slightly decreased to around 8%. Austria and France maintained similar levels of roughly 6%, while Poland and Spain also rose to nearly 5%. Greece’s proportion increased marginally to around 1.5%. Meanwhile, the EU average climbed to nearly 4.5%, reflecting gradual progress toward sustainable transport energy use.
